New PSP owner.

Hey, I'm a new PSP owner and I've been looking into 3.40 OE-A firmware. I'm wanting to use this but I'm concerned as my PSP is an Asian model.

So to quickly ask, would any of these firmware's work on a Asian PSP (Model PSP-1006) or would it completely brick my hardware?

EDIT: oh yeah, my current firmware is 2.71 if that helps?

You can downgrade then upgrade to a 3.40 oe and yeah there is always a chance of bricking.

[ItIsMine]

Yeah i knew no matter what there was a chance of bricking, I suppose what I ment was that is there an increased chance of bricking or will it just out-right brick the hardware due to it being Japanese (and thus uncompatible)?

btw, thanks for the reply!

[Gizmo356]

No it doesn't matter.

nope it been japanese is not problem.

just check your mobo is right for the job.

open your umd door, look at the top where you can see abi of green.

if there is gold writing there it makes it more tricky for you.

but no, it been a jap console does not increase the chance of a brick.

Go ahead, though you'll have to check if the motherboard is ta-082.


Then use this downgrader:

If you don't have ta-082, just skip the idstoragechange part.

You'll need hen in order to run it:

Then update to 3.40 OE-A:

Your set! With OE you can change the enter button from O to X. IDK if you want to or not.

Thanks alot guy's. I would of found out the hard way if you hadn't of told me about the ta-082 versions. It seems like I don't have a ta-082 version.

[parkermauney]

Well your in luck! Just use the downgrader, and skip running the idstoragechange program.

[parkermauney]
